Colo Claw Fish Eggs (a Guru favorite)
While generally compared to beluga caviar, Colo Claw Fish Eggs are a snack of the galaxy’s elite. Our much more accessible boba is a fun way to class up your Star Wars charcuterie board. Colo claw fish were native to the planets Naboo and Odona. In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks used a Gungan bongo submarine to travel through Naboo’s core to get to Theed. Their bongo was attacked by a Colo claw fish, which was then attacked and devoured by a sando aqua monster. Eventually, the eggs were offered to Han Solo by Dryden Vos in the self-titled film Solo.
Ingredients:
- all-natural brown sugar boba pearls
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Steps:
- Prepare your all-natural brown sugar boba pearls
- Fill up your favorite bowl with Strained Tapioca Pearls
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar
- Provide toothpicks for serving
